Greetings, everyone –
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Grouphttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hourshttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours/Wikidata_Working_Hour_Summer-Fall_Project_2023 to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The fifth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover manually adding authors and publishers from our bibliography into Wikidata.
Date and time: Friday, October 13th, 2023 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6:00pm WAT / 7:00pm CEST (Time zone converterhttps://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1697216400)
